I understand why people would dislike Minos after all he did, but I think people need to understand what he went through a bit more. This guy had to watch several hundred million of his people commit suicide, and the few thousand that were left abandoned him to go live in a false reality they created for their amusement. He has been left awake and alone for thousands upon thousands of years, with the few people he had left slowly leaving him. Does anyone understand how that would affect a person's psyche? Isolation itself can drive anyone insane after a few years, so of course he'd be this mentally unstable.

I'm not saying this justifies his actions, not in the slightest. It's never right to hurt others to relieve your own pain, but it at least makes sense. Besides, can no one see how much he began to regret his actions after the Harpies died? If you paid attention to the details, you would see that in chapter seventy-two, there were dozens of broken wine bottles around his throne, implying that he drowned his sorrows in alcohol. It would seem that the older Harpy was right about him not eating unless she fed him either, as in the last few chapters, you could see his cheekbones. Let's not forget about how he begged and pleaded for Nymph to come back to him in chapter seventy-six. I don't see how anyone couldn't view him at least somewhat sympathetic after that. He's always been so proud and headstrong, yet he revealed how weak and pitiful he was by opening up and crying out, expressing how much he wanted her back. It clearly wasn't a trick or anything, as he always tried to manipulate her in the past. Hell, he could have had the Melans kill her on the spot if he wanted, so he was obviously being sincere.

Like I said, I'm not asking anyone to like him after this. What he did to the Angeloids is horrific, and he probably still doesn't deserve forgiveness even after he went through all those horrible things. However, it was clear that he learned his lesson, and was content to live happily with the Harpies by his side once more, while all the other Angeloids enjoy their lives with Tomoki. It's a win-win situation. Whining and bitching about how Tomoki shouldn't have brought him back is pointless, and would have been out of character for him. Funny how some people here are saying they wish they could beat up his voice actor to make themselves feel better. Isn't that exactly what you're chastising him for doing?
